Illustratively, as shown in fig. 6, the user can slide right in the play thumbnail area 601 by a finger (first sliding operation), and in response to the first sliding operation of the user on the play thumbnail area 601, the system controls the play progress of the current music to be adjusted from 0 min 20 s to 0 min 40 s corresponding to the first sliding operation of the user, and the progress in the progress bar 602 (prompt information) is also adjusted in synchronization therewith, and the display content in the main page area 603 is kept unaffected.

In practical application, the system can control the current playing progress and the prompt progress to adjust in response to the first sliding operation of the user on the whole playing thumbnail area 601; the system may also control the current playback progress and prompt the progress to adjust only in response to the user's first swipe operation with respect to the portion of the progress bar 602.

It should be noted that the playback thumbnail area is opposite to the playback detail area, as shown in fig. 7, the information contained in the playback detail area is more detailed, and the playback function provided for the user is more complete, for example, the playback detail area may include a lyric display area 701, which displays the complete lyrics corresponding to the music for the user; the playing detail region may further include a prompt information region 702 of the playing progress, which displays a large-size progress bar for the user to observe more conveniently, and the user may operate on the progress bar to adjust the playing progress of the music; the playing detail area may further include a control area 703, and the user may implement operations such as playing, pausing, and cutting songs on the music playing through the control area 703. In the prior art, the play thumbnail area shown in fig. 5 generally provides only the music name and the play/pause button 505 for the user, and does not provide the functions of adjusting the play progress, displaying the lyrics, and the like.

In the scheme, when a user uses playing software, the system can display the playing progress and related prompt information of the current playing content for the user in the playing thumbnail area of the playing software, and the user can perform first sliding operation on the playing thumbnail area, so that the system can adjust the playing progress and the prompt progress in the related information to corresponding positions according to the operation of the user, the user can directly adjust the playing progress on the thumbnail page of the playing software, the user does not need to click in the detailed page and then operate the adjustment progress, and further the multimedia progress can be conveniently adjusted without interrupting other current operations, the operating efficiency of the user for adjusting the playing progress is improved, and the technical problem that the operating efficiency of the user for adjusting the playing progress is low is solved.

In some embodiments, texts such as lyrics can be displayed in the playing thumbnail area, and a user does not need to open a detail page, so that the operation efficiency of displaying the lyrics is improved. As an example, a text expansion control is also displayed in the play thumbnail area; the method may further comprise the steps of:

step a), in response to a first specified operation aiming at the text expansion control, displaying text information of at least part of the currently played content in the playing thumbnail area, and keeping the displayed content in the main page area.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 8, a user may click on a text zoom control 801 (a first specified operation) to cause the system to display text information of at least a portion of currently playing content, e.g., a portion of lyrics 803, in a play thumbnail area 802, and to leave the display content in a main page area 804 unaffected.

By enabling the system to respond to the first specified operation of the user on the text contraction and expansion control, at least part of text information of the currently played content is displayed in the play contraction and contraction area, and the displayed content in the main page area is kept, the user can see the lyrics without opening the detailed page and entering the play detailed area, operation steps of the user are saved, the user can operate the main page area under the condition of seeing the lyrics, and the use experience of the user is improved.

Based on the step a), in the playing thumbnail area displaying the lyrics, the user can also adjust the music playing progress through the sliding operation, so that the flexibility of the progress adjustment operation is improved. As an example, after the step a), the method may further include the steps of:

and b), responding to a second sliding operation aiming at the designated sub-area in the playing thumbnail area, controlling to adjust the current playing progress and the prompt progress in the prompt information to the sliding progress corresponding to the second sliding operation, and keeping the display content in the main page area.

For the step b), the sub-area designated therein contains the sub-area in the play thumbnail area except the text information.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 9, the user can slide a sub-area (designated sub-area) other than the text information area 902 in the play thumbnail area 901 to the right by a finger (second sliding operation), and in response to the second sliding operation of the user with respect to the designated sub-area in the play thumbnail area 901, the system controls the play progress of the current music to be adjusted from 0 min 20 sec to 0 min 40 sec corresponding to the second sliding operation of the user, and the progress in the progress bar 903 (prompt information) is also adjusted in synchronization therewith, and the display content in the main page area 904 is kept unaffected.

By enabling the system to respond to the second sliding operation of the user on the sub-areas except the information in the playing thumbnail area, the current playing progress and the prompt progress in the prompt information are controlled to be adjusted to the sliding progress corresponding to the second sliding operation, and the display content in the main page area is kept, so that the user can adjust the music progress under the condition of browsing lyrics, the flexibility of the progress adjusting operation is improved, and the use experience of the user is improved.

Based on the step b), the lyric playing progress in the thumbnail playing area can correspond to the current music playing adjusting progress in real time, so that the displayed lyric playing progress can be accurate in real time. As an example, after the step b), the method may further include the steps of:

and c), controlling to adjust the display progress of the text information to the text progress corresponding to the adjusted current playing progress.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 9, the user may slide a sub-area (designated sub-area) in the play thumbnail area 901 except for the text information area 902 to the right (second sliding operation) by a finger, and in response to the second sliding operation of the user for the designated sub-area in the play thumbnail area 901, the system controls the play progress of the current music to be adjusted from 0 min 20 s to 0 min 40 s corresponding to the second sliding operation of the user, and the text progress displayed in the play thumbnail area 901 by the system will also be adjusted accordingly, for example, the displayed part of lyrics is adjusted from 0 min 20 s to 0 min 40 s.

The system controls the display progress of the text information to be adjusted to the text progress corresponding to the adjusted current playing progress, so that the lyrics displayed currently can correspond to the current music progress, the lyric display progress is accurate in real time, a user can listen to the music with the adjusted progress and see the corresponding lyrics in real time, and the use experience of the user is improved.

Based on the step a), the user can adjust the lyric display progress in the playing thumbnail area, so as to be convenient for viewing the lyrics, for example, the user can adjust the lyric display progress by sliding the lyrics. As an example, after the step a), the method may further include the steps of:

and d), responding to a third sliding operation aiming at the text information in the playing thumbnail area, controlling to adjust the display progress of the text information to the sliding progress corresponding to the third sliding operation, and keeping the display content in the main page area.

For example, as shown in fig. 8, the user may slide up and down (a third sliding operation) for a part of the lyrics 803 (text information) in the playing thumbnail region, control the display progress of the part of the lyrics to be changed along with the sliding operation, for example, the current playing progress is 0 minute 20 seconds, and the user slides up for the part of the lyrics 803, that is, the display progress of the part of the lyrics 803 may be moved backwards, and the lyrics corresponding to 0 minute 40 seconds are displayed; the user slides down for part of the lyrics 803, so that the display progress of the part of the lyrics 803 can be moved forward, and the lyrics corresponding to 0 minute and 10 seconds are displayed.

In practical applications, when the user adjusts the music playing progress by sliding part of the lyrics 803, the system may fade and display the prompt information of the current playing progress of the currently playing content.

The system responds to the third sliding operation of the user for the text information in the playing thumbnail region, controls the display progress of the text information to be adjusted to the sliding progress corresponding to the third sliding operation, and keeps the display content in the main page region, so that the progress of the lyrics can be adjusted by the user under the condition of not adjusting the music playing progress, the lyrics corresponding to each time point can be seen, the display content in the main page region is not influenced, and the use experience of the user is improved.

Based on the step d), the user can also adjust the music playing progress by sliding the lyrics, so that the flexibility of the progress adjustment operation is improved. As an example, after the step d), the method may further include the steps of:

and e), controlling to adjust the current playing progress and the prompting progress in the prompting information to the playing progress corresponding to the adjusted display progress.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 8, the user can slide up and down for the part of the lyrics 803 in the playing thumbnail area, and control the part of the lyrics to change the display progress along with the sliding operation, and at the same time, the system also controls the playing progress of the music to change along with the lyrics to realize synchronization. For example, the current playing progress is 0 min 20 sec, and the user slides upwards for a part of the lyrics 803, that is, the display progress of the part of the lyrics 803 can be moved backwards, the lyrics corresponding to 0 min 40 sec are displayed, and the system adjusts the music playing progress to 0 min 40 sec at the same time; the user slides down for part of the lyrics 803, so that the display progress of the part of the lyrics 803 can be moved forward, the lyrics corresponding to 0 minute 10 seconds are displayed, and the system can also adjust the music playing progress to 0 minute 10 seconds.

The current playing progress and the prompt progress in the prompt information are adjusted to the playing progress corresponding to the adjusted display progress through system control, so that a user can adjust the playing progress through sliding lyrics, the flexibility of progress adjustment operation is improved, and the use experience of the user is improved.

Based on the step a), the user can switch the graphical user interface back to the thumbnail page before displaying the lyrics, so that the display content of the thumbnail area is more flexible. As an example, after the step a), the method may further include the steps of:

and f), in response to a second specified operation aiming at the text expansion control, hiding the displayed text information and displaying prompt information in the playing thumbnail area.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 8, the user may click on the text expansion control 801 again (second specifying operation) to cause the system to hide and display a part of the lyrics 803 (text information) in the playing thumbnail area 802, and display a prompt message in the playing thumbnail area 802, and switch the graphical user interface to the form of the playing thumbnail area 502 shown in fig. 5, that is, to the form of not displaying a part of the lyrics.

By enabling the system to respond to the second specified operation of the user for the text contraction and expansion control, the displayed text information is hidden, the prompt information is displayed in the played contracted area, and the graphical user interface is switched to the form of not displaying part of lyrics, so that the quick switching of different display contents is realized, and the display contents in the contracted area are more flexible.

Based on the step f), the system can display the text scaling control in different forms according to different operations of the user so as to visually prompt the user to switch the situation, for example, the system can change the display form of the text scaling control according to a first specified operation of the user, and then the user can perform a second specified operation on the text scaling control with the changed form. As an example, the method may further comprise the steps of:

step g), responding to the first specified operation aiming at the text contraction and expansion control, and changing the display form of the text contraction and expansion control; the second specified operation is an operation for the text scaling control after the display form is changed.
